A critic from The Hindu opined that "The interesting premise of ‘Aithe 2.0’ is undone by amateurish execution". A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of two-and-a-half out of five stars and stated that "On the whole, Aithe 2.0 is a good attempt by Raj Madiraju that will appeal to niche audiences". A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "Although the plot was good, the execution falls flat". A critic from 123 Telugu said that "On the whole, Aithe 2.0 is a good concept gone wrong".
